ShellBot is positioned as a new category of AI infrastructure, offering users their own dedicated virtual machine running an autonomous AI agent rather than relying on shared environments. This ensures greater data privacy, performance, and control, while making advanced AI capabilities simple enough for everyday use. Designed for individuals as well as enterprises, the platform allows users to interact with their AI seamlessly across more than ten communication channels, all while maintaining a single memory and context layer, enabling continuity across conversations and tasks.

A key differentiator for ShellBot is its strong focus on safety and control. As AI agents become more powerful, concerns around unintended actions and misuse continue to grow. ShellBot addresses this through a “secure by default” approach that ensures the AI performs only the actions explicitly intended by the user. The platform incorporates multiple layers of safeguards and guardrails, including confirmation before critical actions, granular permissioning, protection against prompt injection attacks, and mechanisms to prevent runaway usage. It also provides full visibility into agent activity and allows users to immediately pause or stop operations at any time, reinforcing trust and reliability.

ShellBot is built to democratize access to AI agents, extending beyond developers to freelancers, small businesses, and enterprise teams. With pricing starting at €29 per month, it lowers the barrier to entry while offering enterprise-grade infrastructure and flexibility. The platform is model-agnostic, supporting multiple leading AI providers as well as local models, ensuring users are not locked into a single ecosystem.

Commenting on the launch, Francisco Novella Fletcher, Co-founder of SqaaS, said, “ShellBot is built to make powerful AI agents simple, secure, and truly useful in everyday life. Our vision is to leverage advanced AI systems to solve complex, everyday problems at scale, while ensuring users always remain in control of how their AI operates.”

Rajnish Kumar, Group Co-CEO and Aloke Bajpai, Group CEO, ixigo further added, “AI agents represent the next paradigm shift in how technology serves users - moving from passive tools to active collaborators. With ShellBot, SqaaS has taken a powerful open-source innovation and made it secure, accessible, and practical for real-world use. The technology powering ShellBot and the underlying agentic system are already being used within ixigo’s own internal AI-driven workflows, and are now productized and made available externally.  We’re excited to support this journey as ShellBot brings enterprise-grade AI capabilities to a global audience.”

ShellBot is now LIVE at shellbot.sh with global availability across its Starter and Pro plans. For a limited time, users can avail the Pro plan at just $1 for the first month (regularly $58/month) using the code EARLY while signing up.
